AbstractTibial nail length can be estimated pre-operatively by several methods, but this usually requires an intact contralateral tibia. The purpose of this study is to describe an alternative method using the forearm as a reference. A simple clinical method using a forearm measurement is described. This method gives an accurate estimation of the likely range of nail length's that may be required using a simple formula.
